(I accidently put clan above! LOL)

[align=left]I'm sure many of you would love to meet my pets
Mainly I'll just blab about my bunny but do you mind a little of my other goofers? :biggrin2:
[/align]


[align=left]Domino

Breed: Mini Rex
Gender: Female
Color: Broken Black
Personality: Demanding, Goofy, Skiddish
Favorite Toy:Blue SquareSlinky
Favorite Food: Apples
Family Role: Being waited on
How She Came Into My Life: Well this is a funny story actually! My friend's rabbit had babies. I went over to see them and I fell in LOVE with this little broken black colored one. And after seeing her belly I named her Domino, even before she was mine. So I told my mom that me and my friend were going to "Share" her. Well I took her home and there was never any sharing! lol and She was mine!
Describe her Personalities more: She's demanding because if your in her way she has no problem moving your finger or any object that stands against her! She's also goofy, she'll jump into your lap, crawl on you and sniff you. She'll even touch your nose with hers! (Which is very cute btw). Sometimes she'llevengive you bunny kisses (which is a rareevent, but has happened!)But she's also skiddish. Fast movements and loud noises scare her. When I go by her cage orI want to take her out of the cage she runs to the back. I can hold her no problem and she doesn't mind being handled, she never strugles. She's a sweetie in the end!
How Did She Get Her Name?: Because of her Belly! See?

And now more pictures!

[maisy126]

Mizzy, Maxie and Moosey are by far the cutest gerbils I have ever seen!!

Domino is adorable, I thought the 'domino' marking was on her back when I first saw her but seeing as it's on her below(whoops, "belly"),thats awesome!:biggrin2:

What kind of fish you have? (just wondering)

 

[naturestee]

Hiya Boz!:wave:

Sure you don't want more gerbils? I know I said the shelter had a lot before, but they still have most of those and just got a whole bunch more!:shock: Lovely parti-colored cuties. C'mon, you know you want a dozen or more! LOL

And I love Domino's belly! OMG how cute is that?

Hey thanks! Those pictures of them are my best ones

The fish is a Cichlid. And He was in a 20 gallon but he downgraded to a 10 gallon when my gerbils got the 20! Although, I'm sure that's a too small of a tank:?but I have no where else to go with him, and he's the only one. AndHe's small... and evil. He HATES the gerbils! Their tanks used to be next to eachother, and everytime he'd see them he'd try to attack them!I got it on videoa few timesOf course he's in an aquarium and the gerbils are on the otherside in their own tank so he was not too sucsessful

Hey!
I would love to take more! But I don't think my mom wants more. Once I start volenteering there I should work with them. Are they scared and nervous? I could help them be less afraid of people and more on the "I want to come out and play!" thinking then the "HIDE!" thinking Don't you want some gerbils? I know there was one thing there that I wanted to change if I could, some oftheir wheels. When I went there a while back they had those bar wheels in there. You know what I'm talking about? Those are actually bad. They can get their tails caught in them and they'll break off. Gerbils have detachable tails, half of the tail can come off, and it'll never grow back. Also limbs can get caught and broken.
Wow that was longer then I planned it to be :headsmack

I know isn't Domino belly cute? I never knew if it was a "her" thing or if every Broken Mini Rex had it. I never knew. I still don't know :rollseyes

 

[naturestee]

I used to have hammies, never had gerbils but they are cute. I don't know where I'd put them though. I just don't have room for a cage full what Eve and Lily will see as moving kitty food.:?

I haven't tried to play with them at all, so I don't know how social they are. They aren't scared of people who are looking through the glass at them though. I know at least some of the wheels are plastic but I'm not sure if they all are, I just haven't looked. One easy way to fix that is ask if you can throw out all the ones with bars if you bring in better replacements.

So when is your volunteer intro session? We have tons of rabbits now too, pushing 20!:shock:

Well actually you can weave paper through the bar ones if you don't want to replace them. You justhave to replace the paper when needed because they'll probably chew it. Otherwise Fleet Farms sells wire mesh ones that are the 7-8 inch ones that are perfect size! And they are cheapest there TheyLOVE their paper. TP rolls and Kleenx boxes are the best

It's coming up soon! The first saturday in January.
Aww so many bunnies! That must be a tight squeeze in there. That room is not that big!

 

[naturestee]

Yeah, you can barely walk in that room.

I can't remember if they had paper stuff, but I know they had lots of aspen shavings, Carefresh, and even hay to dig in and it looked like they were having fun. You can always drop by and check on them if you want this week. New wheels for Christmas, perhaps? I'm bringing bunny presents on Monday morning before the shelter opens.

BTW, are you getting the new baby soon?

 

[Boz]

Aww that's sad I want to go visit the shelter some timeover Christmas break if I can. It's just getting there! Have to bug my dad or something lol

Aspen, Carefresh and hay is all good! They love it It's cedar and pine shavings that are bad. Which most of you know! Maybe I'll pick up a couple wheels and bring them when I start volenteering there. I was just at fleet farm too. We'll see

And yes, I'm going to be getting her tomarrow! Very excited

 

[stephiemarie78]

Domino is a very pretty girl! I just love mini rex. I have one too her name is Coco.

 

[TinysMom]

Wow - I love Domino and you have quite a clan there....keep the pictures and stories coming!

[Boz]

Hey! Thanks you two I see Coco in your avatar! What a cutie!

 

[Boz]

Well today we went and got my newest addtion, a Broken Agouti French Lop

She was born October 20th, so she's just 8 weeks old and too adorable!

When we went to pick up a bunny we had a choice of three.When the lady opened the cage door she was right there poking her head out and seemed very interested in coming out (well most of them did!).I held her and my dad held the others, she was a calmest. We choose her We walked around a looked at some of the other bunnies too, some of the new litters (they were like little popcorn!) And the whole time she just sat still in my arms. We got in the car and I didn't put her in the carrier, I held her, and she sat in my lap the whole way and was a good little girl too. :biggrin2:

When I put her in the cage she sniffed a little and went right into the litter box and started munching on some hay. A good sign? hehe

Right now she has no name, I need help naming her! Suggestions? :biggrin2:


My mom says I have long eyelashes!

Hmm This hay is yummy!

You know I'm cute.

Her cage

I also posted it here :]

[kirst3buns]

She is beautiful! I love her coloring.

 

[Boz]

Thanks

Just an update:

She poops more then any rabbit I've ever had, let me tell ya. LOLI hold her and not 10 seconds after I put her down I see a poo there.:headsmack She is a big eater too. The lady said that she'll eat about a cup of food a day. And when she gets to her peak of growth where she's really growing she can eat up to 3 cups. :shock:That's a lot of food!
She's already as big as Domino and she's a full grown mini Rex. Her poos are bigger then hers too! LOL

I'm still a little clueless on names. Except one I thought of. Anyone ever read the book "Marley & Me"? It's about a huge Yellow Lab. Well, she's supposed to be a huge rabbit, what about the name Marley? Anyone like that name? It can be a girl or boy name too.

 

[Phinnsmommy]

Aww! I love your new baby! Have you decided on a name for her?

Also, thee cups sounds like an extremely high amount of food for a bunny. Was she talking about pellets?

Adult rabbbits are only supposed to get 1/4-1/2 cups of pellets daily, along with greens everyday (around 2 cups) and unlimited grass hay.

Yeah pellets. Although she has hay too.Plus she was only talking about a short period when she'd eat that much, but it still seemed like a lot. I just let her have unlimited pellets for now. (That'sright, right?) Along with hay! Of course!

Still don't know about a name, although I thought of Marley, but I don't know yet lol.

 

[naturestee]

The food amount sounds about right. I dont (ahh, my apostrophe wont work!) know the exact amounts as Ive never had such a big rabbit. I dont know if Boz mentioned, but this is a baby French Lop and they get HUGE!

Boz, you can always ask the Flemmie breeders on the board like BlueGiants how much their babies eat. Frenchies arent that much smaller. But yeah, definitely free feed the pellets and make sure theyre a good brand. What brand are you feeding, BTW? IMO the alfalfa pellets in feed stores are higher quality than the pet store stuff around here, and youll need a big bag for that big girl anyway!

Hope youre having a good Christmas!

Yeah, she's a French Lop The breeder said she looks like she'll be a big girl too! Right now were feeding her some food the lady gave us. It's call Pen Pals. She gave me a slip of the nutrition facts when she gave us TicTac and I still have it.

 

[Phinnsmommy]

Oh, haha!

Sorry! I'm so used to handling smaller rabbits :foreheadsmack:

Sorry, bout that.

 

[Boz]

It's ok, Don't worry about it :biggrin2:
